Derivation

1. Initial program 1.1

   \[\frac{\left(\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right) - \left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)\right)}{\left(\frac{\left(y.re \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(y.im \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied p16-flip--2.1

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\frac{\left(\left(\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right) \cdot \left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)\right) - \left(\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right) \cdot \left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)\right)\right)}{\left(\frac{\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\right)}}{\left(\frac{\left(y.re \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(y.im \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\]
4. Using strategy rm

5. Applied difference-of-squares2.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{\left(\frac{\color{blue}{\left(\left(\frac{\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)}\right) \cdot \left(\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right) - \left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)\right)\right)}}{\left(\frac{\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\right)}{\left(\frac{\left(y.re \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(y.im \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\]

6. Applied associate-/l*1.1

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\frac{\left(\frac{\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}{\left(\frac{\left(\frac{\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}{\left(\left(x.im \cdot y.re\right) - \left(x.re \cdot y.im\right)\right)}\right)}\right)}}{\left(\frac{\left(y.re \cdot y.re\right)}{\left(y.im \cdot y.im\right)}\right)}\]

7. Final simplification1.1

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{x.im \cdot y.re + x.re \cdot y.im}{\frac{x.im \cdot y.re + x.re \cdot y.im}{x.im \cdot y.re - x.re \cdot y.im}}}{y.re \cdot y.re + y.im \cdot y.im}\]
